"It can tell us a great deal about how it saw its world and it also supports that it's one of the key predators during the Cambrian period. " The group of predators in question, which belong to the genus Anomalocaris, could reach more than 3 feet (1 meter) long and lived in shallow oceans more than 500 million years ago. The researchers call it the "world's first apex predator," because it had highly acute vision and was much larger than other animals in the ocean at that time.

Holy fuckballs, what a story I have for you… As regular readers of this blog are aware, I have been unemployed for going on two years, and my unemployment benefits ran out on the day before Thanksgiving.

On Friday, Backyard Skeptics, a California based group catering to humanists, rational thinkers, atheists and agnostics, held a press conference to publicize a new billboard refuting the claim made by some that the U.S. is founded upon the Christian religion.
